we've got seven nominations right now that senate majority leader harry reid filed cloture on. we have richard cordray to be director of the consumer of financial protection, richard griffin to be in the nlrb, sharon bloch, mark gaston, nlrb, thomas perxz, secretary and of labor. these nominees for the national labor relations board are very controversial. after the court ruled that obama recess appointments of three members or invalid richard cordray was also part of a recess appointment that was not subject to a lawsuit and the supreme court will decide nlrb cases. this action would probably take these actions out of the court and that is in the interest of this administration not to have the embarrassment of the supreme court if they came out with a decision contrary. i don't know how this will play after a i would love to hear by other members of the panel how this will happen to understand specifically how the nuclear option would even come into play. what happens on tuesday morning if there is no agreement how does it play out? is the threshold merely lowered from 60 to 5

that is of course, mitch mcconnell and senator harry reid, the majority leader, negotiations are now between the two of them and it looks like that is where the deal is going to germinate, the question is always as to whether house republicans will go along. >> this week some poll numbers suggested historic lows for republicans in terms of favorability. what kind of role are poll numbers and public pressure playing at this point in the process? >> well, they are playing different roles on different people within the republican party. people who are looking at the national prospects of the republican party are horrified by these numbers, they are not surprised by them, they said this is what would happen if republicans took the confrontation route and closed the government down, it has happened. now, individual republican members, they are largely indifferent to these polls, what they are hearing from is their districts which tend to be very republican, very conservative. they are saying right on. stand tough. people who look nationally through the republican party know the party is i
